N‐terminal pro brain natriuretic peptide eliminates the prognostic effect of atrial fibrillation in patients with chronic heart failure

Abstract Aims Co‐morbid atrial fibrillation (AF) increases both mortality and N‐terminal pro brain natriuretic peptide (NT‐proBNP) concentrations in patients with chronic heart failure (CHF). It is unclear whether AF worsens prognosis independently from NT‐proBNP concentrations. If AF was an indepen...
